WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS
THINK:
"A truly stimulating class! The online
format allowed for great freedom and flexibility, while class
discussions were both lively and engaging" (Emily Macaux)
"This class was perfect for my schedule and actually allowed me to
graduate early. I did my semester abroad during the spring of 2007 so I
was not back in the US until mid-July and therefore would not have been
able to take any of the classes offered in the summer if this FRN 412
course had not been online. Having the class online allows for
traveling, so you are not stuck in RI for the entire summer. It also
allowed for a lot of freedom. It was an overall great experience."
(Kristina Suorsa)
"This FRN 412 was my first online course. I
was apprehensive at first because I did not know if an online course
would provide the support and help that I need in a class. I was
completely wrong! The online forum for each novel was extremely helpful
and interesting. I enjoyed getting the perspective of the other
students in the class, just as a class discussion would have been. We
were always informed and reminded via email of upcoming assignments
which kep me on track throughout the course. Overall, I really enjoyed
the experience of an online course and I would highly suggest this
course to everyone." (Courtney Leahy)
"I highly recommend taking FRN 412 Online to all majors. Not only was
the material interesting and challenging, the online aspect of this
class allows you to work more independently than a regular course. I
could read the lectures whenever and submit my work from wherever I
needed to. Not having to fit a course into my schedule, I could enjoy
my summer vacation more. There were no exams to cram for, which means I
was able to have access to any kind of resource when writing and
therefore that quality of my work was the best it could be. The forum
was also an interesting place to read other students' work and respond
to it or get new ideas about what to write." (Katie Fischer)

PLAGIARISM
Basically, plagiarism is
using other's work as if it was yours. You may not realize it,
but
certain practices lead others to conclude that other's works are your
own.
Here are some of these practices:
1.Using someone's exact
words and not putting quotation marks around them, which means the
reader
has no way of understanding this is not the work of the author.
2.Using someone's work and
not attributing the source.
3.Paraphrasing so closely
(same order of sentences, same order of paragraphs, same order of
sections
), with merely a word substituted here and there. This indicates that
the
work is really still someone else's. The intellectual work of
re-thinking
the meaning wasn't done. This is true even if the source is given.
4.Cut 'N Paste: Using
parts
of several people's work, which some think is original - Not!The sum of
sentences from other authors doesn't make the combination
original.
Plagiarism will not be tolerated in this course. Any case of
plagiarism
will be forwarded to the Dean’s Office. If you have any doubt,
please
check with the instructor.
